    Observations on the NYSE specialist.

    I'm on the edge of my chair with suspense. So what is your theory as to what happened as to why Dan did not get filled?

    Observations on the NYSE specialist.

    So the sequence could have been that Dan placed his order for 15k short. Dan gets partially filled for 3300. Then 200k shows up on the offer. Then 40k show up as prints, which could have been somewhat delayed prints form a clean cross trade. Then the stock tanks 4 cents. But as cstu said, the...

    Observations on the NYSE specialist.

    Ok. Except if the 200k order appeared after Dan's order, then the 200k order was given precedence to Dan's. And I think what Dan was saying is that he was there first and getting some fills before the 200k order showed up on the offer. I think Dan said the 200k showed up after Dan placed his...

    Observations on the NYSE specialist.

    For any definitive conclusions, we would need to know the answer to these questions. Is the order earmarked or tagged as a short sell when submitted from the broker to the specialist or is it sent neutral of long or short? Are longs indeed given precedence to shorts? Thirdly, it appears that...

    Observations on the NYSE specialist.

    Hamlet, If the facts are as Dan posted, that he got a partial fill, then after or during his partial fill, the 200k was posted on the offer and prints were going off on the offer at his same price, why did Dan not get a total fill? Since Dan was there first? Thanks

    Gosh almighty!! I have read this thread, and meaning no disrespect to you at all, would you please slowdown and re-examine the manner in which you recently posted? When JR, cstu or others have posted what appears to their understanding of the facts which you disagree with, would you do us all...

    Observations on the NYSE specialist.

    I don't know a single trader who wanted penny increments. Why would a trader want penny increments? If I recall correctly wasn't it more like the mutual funds and the SEC?

    Yen carry trade- going to cause market crash

    The premise for the article was: "...Rest assured the BOJ is noticing and will soon begin pulling liquidity out of Asia's biggest economy. Once that process begins, there's no telling how aggressive the BOJ will be and what effect it will have on bond yields...." Why does the BOJ...

    diamond trim paid speaker for trade ideas

    I am disappointed in the commercialization of a poster whom we've followed, presumably heretofore, an independent trader free of commercial interests. It would be more appropriate if an ET member wants to recommend and help other members, that it be done gratis (free). Otherwise the underlying...

    Housing Rolling Along 2

    There is a huge difference between 1980 and today and dissimilar circumstances. Back then Volker is credited with ending stagflation by limiting the growth of the money supply and abandoning targeted interest rates. Thus the squeeze on interest rates and the subsequent slow down of the real...

    IB year end statement

    I notice the IB year end statement is only available in html, unlike the monthly statements. Is there a simple way to import the html annual statement into excel without going through another program to line up the data in columns? Just thought there might be a way around downloading each...

    Javs5150, Are you trading off of the news? If so what are you looking for? I have done a log of the news received part of the day for a week on teamspeak. Most of the movement has already taken place by the time the news hits, or it actually reverses or does nothing. Thanks, Mike

    Well it's legit. However I've been following the news on here for about a week. The problem with all news is that insiders know the news before it's announced. That is, most of the runups/breakdowns have already ocurred before you find out. Really hard to trade off of. In the week I've been...
